MONROE, Ohio (WDTN) - The Solid Rock Church's new Jesus statue is arriving at its new home piece by piece.

Seven flatbed trucks are in the process of moving nine pieces of the giant sculpture to the Monroe church.

The original, so-called "Butter Jesus" burned down after a lightning strike in 2010.

Display Dynamics in Clayton was hired to create a new one. It is called the "Light of the World".

Once all the pieces arrive, work will begin to build the statue. It should be finished early next month.
